  • Halloween H25 & Retribution: Too Good to Stay Unmade? | Mookie's Matinee
    Oct 31 2026

    Two unmade Halloween sequels. Two more chances to unleash Michael Myers. How close did we come to seeing something worth screaming about? Camp Wayback’s Mookie’s Matinee presents a lost-sequel double feature: Halloween H25 and Halloween: Retribution. We’re digging into these proposed Halloween movies, their concepts, and the big question: did horror fans miss out?

    Join Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine for franchise what-ifs, heated opinions, and the kind of questionable commentary you’d expect from these camp counselors. Could either concept have earned its place in Michael Myers’ legacy? Pull up a lawn chair—we’ve got two movies that never made it to the screen and plenty to argue about.

    🎃 Which would YOU rather have seen: Halloween H25 or Halloween: Retribution? Make your case in the comments, like the video, and subscribe to Camp Wayback for more Mookie’s Matinee, horror discussions, and ’80s nostalgia!

  • Michael Myers vs. Pinhead?! The Halloween Movies We Almost Got! | Mookie's Matinee
    Oct 24 2026

    What if Michael Myers had TWO faces? What if the Shape went head-to-head with Pinhead from Hellraiser? Before Halloween H20 brought Laurie Strode back to face her murderous brother, the Halloween franchise was exploring some absolutely wild possibilities that could have changed horror history forever!

    On this episode of Mookie’s Matinee at Camp Wayback, we're digging into two of the most fascinating unmade Halloween movies: Halloween 7: Two Faces of Evil and the proposed Halloween/Hellraiser crossover, often referred to as Helloween! From the bizarre possibility of two Michael Myers killers terrorizing Haddonfield to an unforgettable showdown between two of horror's biggest icons, we're breaking down the abandoned concepts, behind-the-scenes history, and creative decisions that kept these nightmares from reaching the big screen.

    Would Halloween 7: Two Faces of Evil have been a better direction for the franchise than Halloween H20? Could Michael Myers and Pinhead have shared the screen without destroying everything that made their respective franchises legendary? And most importantly, did horror fans miss out on something incredible, or did we dodge two cinematic disasters?

    Grab a seat by Rewind Lake and join Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine as we resurrect the Halloween sequels that almost happened! Expect horror history, questionable creative decisions, plenty of laughs, and the usual Camp Wayback insanity.

  • Gleaming the Cube (1989): Christian Slater, Skateboarding & 80s Insanity! | Camp Wayback
    Oct 28 2026

    Before Tony Hawk became a household name, Christian Slater was skating his way through murder, mystery, and pure 1980s madness! 🛹🔥

    This week, Camp Wayback Movie Night takes a trip back to 1989 for Gleaming the Cube, the cult classic that somehow combined skateboarding, conspiracy, action, and teenage rebellion into one gloriously bizarre cinematic experience!

    Starring Christian Slater as Brian Kelly, a rebellious skateboarder whose world is turned upside down following the mysterious death of his adopted brother, Gleaming the Cube delivers everything you could want from a late-80s movie: questionable decisions, spectacular skateboarding, a surprisingly serious mystery, and enough glorious 80s attitude to fill an entire VHS rental shelf.

    And did we mention the legendary Tony Hawk makes an appearance alongside some of the era's biggest skateboarding talents?

    Join Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine as we revisit this wonderfully strange piece of 80s nostalgia and ask the important questions:

    🛹 Does Gleaming the Cube deserve more recognition as an underrated 80s cult classic?

    🎬 Does Christian Slater carry this wild combination of skateboarding and murder mystery?

    🔥 Are the skateboarding sequences better than the actual movie?

    😂 And most importantly, does this movie still hold up nearly four decades later, or should we have left it on the video store shelf?

    Expect plenty of laughs, questionable opinions, ridiculous tangents, and the kind of unapologetic 1980s nostalgia that makes Camp Wayback the place where growing up is strictly optional.

    If you love 80s movies, forgotten cult classics, retro pop culture, or just three guys arguing about movies they probably watched way too many times growing up, you've found your people.

    👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Is Gleaming the Cube an underrated masterpiece, a ridiculous 80s time capsule, or a little bit of both? Let us know in the comments!

    👍 LIKE the episode, SUBSCRIBE to Camp Wayback, and SHARE it with somebody who remembers when skateboards, VHS tapes, and Christian Slater ruled the world.

    Welcome back to Camp Wayback. The 80s never left. We just got older.

  • Crawdaddy’s 5 Things From the ’80s We NEED Back! | Camp Wayback
    Oct 21 2026

    What if you could jump into the Wayback Machine, travel straight back to the 1980s, and bring FIVE things home with you?

    Tonight on Camp Wayback, we hand Crawdaddy the keys and give him one mission: pick 5 things from the ’80s he desperately wants back in the present day. Movies? Toys? Food? Technology? Questionable fashion choices? Nothing is off limits—and knowing Crawdaddy, neither is good judgment.

    Will Mookie and the Big Red Machine agree with his picks, or will Crawdaddy lose his Wayback Machine privileges before the night is over?

    🔥 What FIVE things from the 1980s would YOU bring back? Drop your list in the comments and see how it stacks up against Crawdaddy’s!

    Welcome back to Camp Wayback—where the movies were better, the toys were cooler, the hair was bigger, and apparently we’re still not ready to move on.

    Oct 10 2026

    What if Halloween 5 and Halloween 6 had turned out COMPLETELY different? Believe it or not, the versions of these Michael Myers sequels that almost made it to the big screen might be even crazier than the movies we actually got!

    In Episode 2 of Mookie’s Matinee, we're heading back to Camp Wayback for a DOUBLE FEATURE of abandoned ideas, bizarre storylines, and questionable creative decisions from the history of the Halloween franchise! From the infamous clown costume concepts surrounding Halloween 5 to the absolutely bonkers virtual reality storyline proposed for Halloween 6, we're digging into the sequels that almost were—and asking the important question: Who the hell thought some of these ideas were good?!

    Pull up a lawn chair, crack open a cold one, and join Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine as we revisit the roads not taken in Haddonfield. It's horror history, 80s and 90s nostalgia, questionable opinions, and plenty of laughs—the way we do things at Camp Wayback!

  • Beauty, Brackets & Bad Decisions: Camp Wayback's Ladies of the 80s!
    Oct 14 2026

    Beauty, Brackets & Bad Decisions… what could possibly go wrong?

    Camp Wayback is settling one of the most important debates nobody asked us to settle: Who is the ultimate Lady of the 80s? We’ve built the bracket, seeded 32 unforgettable women of the decade, and now Mookie, Crawdaddy, and The Big Red Machine have to somehow survive the tournament without destroying friendships along the way.

    From horror icons and movie legends to pop-culture crushes who practically defined the decade, nobody is safe from elimination. Jamie Lee Curtis. Phoebe Cates. Sigourney Weaver. Heather Langenkamp. Kelly LeBrock. Elvira. Molly Ringwald. And plenty more enter the bracket—but only ONE can be crowned Camp Wayback’s ultimate Lady of the 80s.

    There will be questionable logic. There will be arguments. There will absolutely be bad decisions.

    🔥 Who would YOU crown the ultimate Lady of the 80s? Watch the tournament, then drop your winner—and the matchup we completely screwed up—in the comments.

    Welcome back to Camp Wayback, where the movies were better, the hair was bigger, and apparently we’ve decided tournament brackets are worth losing friends over.

  • Over the Top: Stallone, Arm Wrestling, Diner Food & Peak ’80s Insanity!
    Oct 7 2026

    Fire up the semi, turn that hat backwards, and get ready to meet us OVER THE TOP! 💪🚛

    This week at Camp Wayback, Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine are heading back to 1987 for one of the most gloriously ’80s movies ever committed to film: Sylvester Stallone’s Over the Top. It’s got big rigs, bigger biceps, daddy issues, Kenny Loggins, and an arm-wrestling tournament treated with the intensity of the Super Bowl, WrestleMania, and Rocky IV combined.

    But after all these years, does Over the Top still have the horsepower to cross the finish line—or is nostalgia doing some seriously heavy lifting?

    Crack open your beverage of choice, turn your hat around, and grab a seat by Rewind Lake. Movie Night is officially underway at Camp Wayback, where the movies are questionable, the memories are undefeated, and somehow Mookie is still allowed to supervise the camp.

    What’s your favorite moment from Over the Top? And where does it rank among Stallone’s ’80s classics? Drop a 5 star review, talk about it in the comments and join us at Camp Wayback!

  • The Halloween 4 Movies We NEVER Got | Mookie's Matinee
    Sep 26 2026

    Before Michael Myers returned in Halloween 4, there were other paths back to Haddonfield—and we’re opening the vault on the movies we almost got! Welcome to the debut of Mookie’s Matinee, the horror-centric side of Camp Wayback, where the nostalgia runs deep and the things lurking around camp aren’t always the counselors.


    For our first screening, we’re exploring the unmade Halloween 4 concepts and alternate directions that could have changed Michael Myers’ legacy. We’re talking unrealized possibilities, missed opportunities, and the big question: could one of these versions have topped Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers? If you love the Halloween franchise, horror movie history, and debating the sequels that never reached the screen, pull up a chair. This matinee is for you.


    🎃 Would you trade the Halloween 4 we got for one of these unmade versions? Tell us which one—and why—in the comments!
